Feng Wanli closed his eyes and started sensing, hoping to locate his storage ring, thus finding the one who had stealthily attacked him.
After trying for a while, Feng Wanli opened his eyes helplessly and looked at Li Cheng, âI canât sense it, the Immortal Sense imprint I left on the storage ring has been erased!â
âThe Ten Thousand Aspects Soul Seal is in there, right?â Li Cheng asked.
Feng Wanli nodded, then frowned suddenly and looked at Li Cheng, âYouâre not suspecting that I deliberately staged this, sending the Ten Thousand Aspects Soul Seal to them, are you?â
Li Cheng smiled, âNo, to act by sacrificing oneâs body⦠one would have to be insane.â
Feng Wanli sighed in relief, but then sighed again, âNow that you mention it, why do I feel like the Ten Thousand Aspects Soul Seal has brought disaster upon me? If I had known, I should have given it to you to safeguard!â
In that case, they would be coming to behead you, not causing trouble for me.â
Li Cheng glanced at Feng Wanli and chuckled inwardly, indeed feeling the same way; this guy was the scapegoat.
Back to the main issue, those Loose Immortals must be from Ten Thousand Evils Cave, but they only go up to the twelfth calamity, with the one hiding behind the scenes still has not yet made an appearance. Do you have any method to force them out?â Li Cheng said.
Feng Wanli looked at Li Cheng, jokingly said, âSimple, you take action and kill all those Loose Immortals!â
His solution was straightforward and direct.
Right now, with those Loose Immortals exposed by the formationâs backlash, if Li Cheng were to take action and kill them, it would surely force the person behind them to come out.
And even if that person didnât show up, killing so many Loose Immortals would also inflict heavy losses on Ten Thousand Evils Cave, and serve as revenge for those who died in the first wave of attacks.
Li Cheng shook his head, âLeave those average fighters to the major sects.â
Li Chengâs intervention just now must have already attracted that personâs attention; if he were to take action again at this moment, that person might target the Heavenly Mechanism Sect!
But as long as Li Cheng remained inactive, that person would not dare to act rashly.
Li Cheng had an inkling that person must also possess the Ten Thousand Aspects Soul Seal, but unfortunately, Feng Wanli, this unlucky fellow, had lost it. Otherwise, using it to sense around, they could certainly have made some discoveries.
Indeed, as the Loose Immortals from Ten Thousand Evils Cave continued to be killed, that person still did not show themselves.
The ten major sects had profound resources, and they were not something that a rising faction like Ten Thousand Evils Cave could compare to. Li Cheng even saw some sects using True Immortal Talismans.
The battle was already decided!
But not being able to find that person made Li Cheng and Feng Wanli feel like they had a bone stuck in their throats.
The eastern sky was gradually growing light; dawn was approaching. Most of Ten Thousand Evils Caveâs Loose Immortals had died in battle, and many had fled, but that person never appeared.
Feng Wanli had already formed a body, but it was not a physical one; rather, it was an energy body constructed from Immortal Yuan.
The battle has ended, it seems that person will not appear,â Feng Wanli sighed.
Li Chengâs expression remained calm, yet he secretly sighed in his heart; this was the most troublesome aspect, as who knew how that person would deal with the Heavenly Mechanism Sect in the future!
They wondered if they could get any clues from Bai Tieyi and the former Sect Master.
Just then, under the detection of Li Chengâs Spiritual Sense, a shadowy figure suddenly appeared behind the suppressed Bai Tieyi and the old Sect Master!
The shadowy figure, holding an Immortal Weapon War Saber, appeared and slashed horizontally towards Bai Tieyi and the old Sect Master!
âThere he is!â
Feng Wanli obviously sensed it too and turned to look in the direction of Li City.
The shadowâs speed was incredibly fast, but as he slashed horizontally, the distance between him and Bai Tieyi and the old Sect Master seemed to stretch infinitely. The saber strike felt as if it were worlds away from them!
âSpace manipulation!â the shadow uttered in surprise.
The next second, the Black and White Elders appeared, and the Tai Chi Diagram emerged, enveloping the shadow within it!
The shadow scoffed and turned, slicing through the Tai Chi Diagram and darting out.
But as soon as he flew out of the range of the Tai Chi Diagram, his smile froze, because Li Cheng had already appeared in front of him!
âThis black robe of yours is quite nice, simply a treasure for killing and looting!â Li Cheng said with amusement. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThe Dark Talisman Immortal Robe of the Ten Thousand Talisman Sect is also an Immortal Artifact that went missing over ten thousand years ago,â Feng Wanli said.
âDonât let him escape!â the Black and White Elders shouted in unison.
They had just arrived, summoned by Mu Xingzhiâs urgent message.
âSince you know this is the Dark Talisman Immortal Robe, you should be aware that no one can keep this old man here!â the shadow scoffed, his figure vanishing from sight.
Li Cheng was well-prepared. With a press of his hand, the space within a hundred feet in front of him trembled, forcibly revealing the shadowâs presence. Moreover, even with the protection of an Immortal Artifact, he was grievously wounded by the spatial tremors and was already spitting blood.
Without giving him the slightest chance, as soon as he was forced out, the Void Snow Sword pierced through space as if teleporting, instantly penetrating his skull and sending bits of red and white scattering.
With his physical body destroyed, the Nascent Soul of the Black Robed Man reacted extremely quickly, without a momentâs hesitation wrapped the Dark Talisman Immortal Robe and the storage ring around himself and attempted to flee.
But it was clearly too late. He realized that the space within several meters around him had been locked down, and he was completely unable to break free! âBeautiful!â Feng Wanli exclaimed with great joy, but was also secretly alarmed.
The figure who destroyed his physical body so effortlessly had no power to resist in Li Chengâs hands!
This was far stronger than the last time they dealt with the Taoist Mysterious Sectâs Patriarch. Back then, Li Cheng had to take the Patriarch far away from the Taoist Mysterious Sect to avoid endangering the sect.
Now, however, he managed to suppress him with ease.
Li Cheng reached out his hand, and the Dark Talisman Immortal Robe and storage ring floated toward him, while the Nascent Soulâs complexion shifted, teeth clenched covertly, as if struggling with a difficult decision.
âThinking of self-destructing your Nascent Soul, are you? Then go ahead and be quick about it,â Li Cheng said calmly.
Feng Wanli jumped in fright. An explosion from such a beingâs Nascent Soul
would reduce the entirety of Li City to ashes!
Yet Li Cheng was actually provoking him?
Are you not afraid that he might really self-destruct?
âHmph! I shall grant your wish!â The Nascent Soul snorted coldly, clearly preparing to self-destruct.
Feng Wanli instinctively retreated, but seeing that Li Cheng stood unflinchingly, he forcefully stopped himself and looked suspiciously at the Nascent Soul of the Black Robed Man.
âWhat have you done to me?â The Nascent Soulâs color changed again, for he found that he couldnât self-destruct!
He couldnât even mobilize his True Yuan!
âFeng Wanli, search his soul!â Li Cheng said to Feng Wanli.
Feng Wanli gave a wry smile, âIn this state, how can I search? Although heâs
only left with a Nascent Soul, his Soul Power hasnât been diminished.â
âThen Iâll do it!â Li Cheng smiled and then looked at Feng Wanli.
Feng Wanli nodded, âGo ahead, why are you looking at me?â
âYou need to teach me first!â Li Cheng said irritably.
Soul searching was not considered a secret technique, but it was a tactic that was not convenient to use openly, so not everyone knew how to do it.
If oneâs Spiritual Sense or Immortal Sense was not far superior to that of the opponent, soul searching could easily result in getting lost in the memories of the other, confusing oneâs own consciousness instead.
Feng Wanli understood and condensed his Immortal Sense into the technique of soul searching, teaching it to Li Cheng.
Li Cheng contemplated for a moment, then nodded slightly, âI just learned it and am not yet proficient. Bear with me. If I accidentally reduce you to ashes, then⦠just resign yourself to fate!â
The Nascent Soulâs face turned dark, mixed with trepidation, and he grudgingly said, âInstead of that, why donât you just ask me what you want to know directly! Soul searching is a forbidden technique-itâs very easy to mess up if done haphazardly.â
